Earn 6 Continuing Education Credits through NASW and APA in this two-part seminar that explains cutting-edge approaches to help deepen therapeutic listening and intervention techniques.

All unfinished business from the past is replicated in present-day relationships; all insecure childhood attachments inhibit the capacity for openness, curiosity and full functioning. Using these two statements as anchoring points, this six-hour course will focus on increasing your comfort level and proficiency in working with transferential enactments as a means of repairing early attachment injuries.

Unconscious, unarticulated or disavowed material invariably becomes enacted in relationship to others, regardless of whether one believes in the transference or has proficiency in using transference as a leverage for change. This course is designed to help clinicians recognize when transferential and counter-transferential enactments are beginning to surface within the therapeutic relationship as well as provide specific examples and techniques to bring the therapeutic relationship back into a state of co-regulation and/or repair.
